If,
like us, you've been rather hopelessly addicted to the Sims game then you'll
be thrilled to see that Faithtastic has proved yet again that she has far
too much time on hands by spending the past weeks meticulously recreating
the characters of Buffy in pixel form. Yes, now you can download Buffy and
pals and control their lives.
So far
she's created 'skins' - that is, the head and body - of Buffy, Faith, Giles,
Xander, Cordelia, Oz, Joyce, Angel, Anya, Doyle, Tara, Drusilla, Willow,
Wesley, Kate, Riley, Jenny,the Master, Darla, Devon, Spike, The Host, Gunn,
Dawn, Lindsey and Lilah.
Anyway,
to dowload these little creations, simply click on the picture of the Buffy
character of your choice. They're all in .zip files and they should be extracted
into the GameData\Skins directory of the Sims. Some of them include the
necessary .skn and .cmx files that are required for the skins to work properly.
If all goes well, they should appear in the Create A Sim screen next time
you play. All the files have been virus checked so don't sue Faithtastic
if anything goes wrong with your computer but if you're having any problems,
e-mail her.
Important
- it has recently come to our attention that some thieving little bastards
have stolen Faithtastic's creations to post on other websites. These skins
are for your own personal use, not to be posted on newsgroups, mailing lists
or other websites, not least because it uses up our bandwidth. Don't abuse
them or we'll take them down. So there.
NB:
These were all created a few years ago when the Sims first came out and
new versions are probably unlikely any time soon. We have a pretty bitchy
sense of humour so the descriptions verge on the unkind. If this offends
you feel free to not download them and go elsewhere.

Version
4. Buffy
from a fourth season promo shot. Here she wears a black top and red leather
trousers, accessorised with a funky bracelet. Since I've got my hands
on the long-hair model, Buffy's been re-modeled to have flowing tresses.
Yay. But I still won't give her that awful perm she was sporting at the
end of S4.

Give
us a twirl, sweetie.
|
Version
4. Completely
new head. Angel favours black, as usual, with a crisp white undershirt
beneath his leather jacket - an outfit perfect for any occasion, births,
weddings, bar mitzvahs. I've completely remodeled his face as the last
one was, frankly, crap. But still intact is his uber monobrow and fabulous
hair. Quifftastic.
|
Version
4. Cordy is cool but functional in black
leather trousers and a powder blue ribbed sleeveless turtleneck sweater.
Also features Cordelia's new shorter hairdo but I refuse to recreate those
horrific blonde highlights. See if it helps turn her from a measly bit-part
player to a bona fide star, dahlink.
|
Version
1. The Host is most utterly camp dresser
ever. He also has the best hair on A:ts after Angel himself. About time
I made a skin of him! So, The Host wears a lime green lounge suit, a red
shirt with a dragon motif. With all goes fabulously with his green skin
and red horns. Sexy mama!

2. This is Willow circa late season three (after Doppelgangland
she's discovered the leather trousers of gayness.) Typically, she pairs
it with a grey sweater because, well, it *is* Willow after all. So she's
achieved the pale part but I don't know about interesting... Included
with this .zip file: vamp Willow skin (not made by me.)
|
Version
4. New head. Xander in a trusty
pair of jeans and black sweatshirt, showing off his lovely big broad swimmer's
shoulders, You'll notice his jeans are baggy now. Oh, the unfettered joy
of discovering new meshes, By accident I gave him fantastic cheekbones
but I've let him keep them as he suits them. I might do his ice cream
van outfit later, just for a laugh.
|
Version
3. Again, this outfit is from
one of the promo pics. Oz in a red shirt over a blue t-shirt and jeans.
And now, Oz has technicolour dream hair. Included are heads for brown,
red and blue spikey hair. So Oz can now change his hair colour as often
as his underpants! I've given Oz the baggy jeans too because he's often
seen wearing trousers that are several size too big. Bless 'im.
|
Version
3. New head and body. Giles in his
librarian-wear TM. A grey three-piece suit with a brown tie and a pin-striped
shirt. Not forgetting, of course, his frequently polished specs. I think
I've managed to capture the right level of stuffiness. |
Version
1. At last! My own version of Spike. You could cut diamonds
with those cheekbones! Spike wears his trademark black jeans, black shirt
and big belt. He also sports that terrible bleached hairdo, because he thinks
he's Billy Idol and he *so* isn't. Like Riley, you
can kill him off in several ways - alas, sunshine won't kill him. |

6. New face,
new hair in a more Faith-ful rendering. Faith in an outfit that was actually
featured in Eliza Dushku's movie Bring It On. Faith comes complete with
tattoo but the bad-girl attitude, sluttiness, general psychotic tendencies
and, of course, the lesbian subtext with Buffy, you'll have to add yourself...
|
Version 2.
Re-Joyce (arf, arf) over the revised version of this
skin. This is based on a promo pic of the fabulous Kristine, wearing an
ivory business suit with a white t-shirt underneath, Joyce also accessorises
with an African tribal necklace type thing, presumably on loan from the
gallery. |
Version
2. Anya,
with early fourth season hair (because I didn't like the later 'do, dammit,)
and a white tank top worn under a denim jacket and matching denim skirt,
an outfit worn in a promo shot. Of course, she can accessorise with Xander,
her penis-on-legs. Newly remodelled face.
|
Version
2. Ah, don't
we all miss Doyle and his fabulous lapels-over-the-collar wiseguy style?
Console yourself with this: here, he's wearing a brown shirt (with a white
undershirt), chinos and his brown leather jacket. Outfit from a promo
shot.
|
Version
2. New head.
I'm quite pleased I managed to capture Tara's permanent pout and bone
structure to match Spike's! She wears a purple shirt with frilly red sleeves
and a skirt that looks like it was a pair of curtains in a previous life.
She also wears a witchy pendent. Complete with heaving bosom.

Version
3 . New head
and body. Wesley was always the more stylish Watcher in Buffy with his Saville
Row suits and silk ties. Not an inch of tweed in sight. Ever the dapper
chap, here he's wearing a navy blue suit and white shirt with a tasteful
grey patterned tie. |
Version
3 . I've
completely remodeled Kate's hair which is probably why she's looking a
bit cheerful. For once. Anyway, this is a far more accurate rendering,
I hope. New outfit. Kate wears a red leather jacket, dark blue jeans and
a olive tank top, an outfit featured in the episode The Shroud of Rahmon.
|
Version
1. It's not
a great likeness of Biley but, hey, you're only going to kill him off in
numerous ghastly ways anyway. May I suggest electrocution? Here he is in
his commando wear, green cargo pants and green sweater with shoulder flap
thingies (a technical term.) |
Version
1. Jenny Calender
lives! In pixel form at least. The outfit is actually an amalgam of two
outfits from the Well Dressed Sim site so the credit is theirs. I just put
a purple tint over the skirt, that's all. |

1. The Master
is a sound warning against neglecting your daily skincare regime. Alas,
clearly nobody told him to clease, tone, and moisture... Anyway, like most
vamps, the Master favours leather. Black leather. Cliche. |
Version
1. Occasional
extra Devon, frontman of The Bronze favourites Dingoes Ate My Baby and all-round
slut, is clad in black jeans and a cropped T-shirt featuring the Dingoes'
name on it. In this ensemble, he'll have the groupies flocking around him. |
